AstralPool - Aster UVE Sand Filter Base Ø450 mm - 4404010088

AstralPool – Aster UVE Sand Filter Base Ø450 mm

This is the genuine AstralPool replacement base for the Aster UVE sand filter with a 450 mm diameter tank. Moulded in durable grey polypropylene, the base provides the stable structural foundation that supports the filter body and houses the lower connection points for plumbing and drainage. It is position 7 in the official Fluidra exploded-view diagram for parent product 498.

Compatibility

This base is designed exclusively for the AstralPool Aster UVE series sand filter at the 450 mm diameter specification. The Aster UVE range is available in 350 mm, 450 mm, and 600 mm variants; always confirm your filter’s diameter before ordering. It is not interchangeable with bases from other AstralPool filter families such as the Vesubio, Cantabric, or Millennium series.

Why Genuine Matters

An OEM base guarantees the exact geometry, polypropylene grade, and port alignment specified by AstralPool engineers, ensuring a watertight fit under the filter’s maximum operating pressure of 2.5 bar. The Aster filter range complies with European filtration standard EN 16713-1, and using a genuine replacement part helps maintain that compliance and any applicable warranty. Aftermarket bases can introduce misalignment that stresses the tank body and connections.

Installation

Replacing the filter base requires draining and depressurising the filter completely before work begins. The base connects to the filter tank and to poolside pipework; correct torque on all unions is essential to prevent leaks. Professional installation by a qualified pool technician is strongly recommended, particularly where pipework is fixed or the filter is part of a monobloc assembly.
